Looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow after an involuntary deload week and then hopefully playing some basketball tomorrow afternoon.

weird.

It's criminal. The employee was either working illegally or being paid in cash, which is why they didn't declare that they were an employee. The business owner is just as much to blame as the employee. Meanwhile the whole state suffers due to an overreaction from the state government.

Thanks for the messages of support!

I went into work today and we all got ordered to work from home starting from midnight due to lockdown.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-18/sa-ordered-into-major-lockdowns-amid-coronavirus-outbreak/12894666

The government says it's for 6 days but I'm cynical. I think they'll extend it out to 14 days and this is even harsher than Melbourne's lockdown, which was described as one of the worst in the world.

These closures and restrictions are South Australia-wide.

REASONS YOU MAY LEAVE HOME

To go to work as an emergency services worker or to worker providing essential services.
For agricultural work.
To receive medical care including seeking COVID-19 testing.
To obtain medical supplies.
To attend supermarkets to obtain essential supplies (one person per household once a day).
Organised end of life visits.
In an emergency situation.

In Melbourne you were allowed to go out for an hour each day for exercise. In South Australia we're not even allowed to go outside to exercise at all. I caught up with a few close friends after work and had a few beers. I'm not financially impacted by this atm but if I were a small business owner or a casual worker I would probably be out on the streets protesting these measures. I think it's crazy and I actually respect what NSW are doing. They know that COVID is something we'll have to live with and they are using suppression. We were supposed to be following NSW and accepting a few cases here and there and getting people to self-isolate and follow the procedures with contract tracing etc. Instead the government has thrown suppression out the window and emulated Dan Andrews and his extreme measures. The government would never be able to pull this shit in the USA because the people wouldn't allow it.

Attendance for the funeral and wake are now by invitation only so I'm not going. The club is planning to host a memorial service at the club to celebrate Serge's life as soon as they are able to. I hope we don't end up like Victoria and have this shit drag on for months and have lockdowns imposed on us etc.

Sunday

BW- 91.6

I played 2.5 hours of pick up with a couple of my friends. I didn't do many jumps and my achilles didn't feel sore at all while I was playing. Starting to feel it a bit now though so it will be interesting to see how it feels tomorrow morning.  I've got a couple of days off work on Monday and Tuesday. I've got a dentist appointment tomorrow and then on Tuesday I'm attending a funeral and wake for one of my old team mates from rugby that killed himself 

Shit man that's rough. It's a huge problem these days.

Yeah I was shattered when I heard the news. He died last Tuesday and I heard about it on Wednesday right before the Origin. I couldn't even watch the game because I was just thinking of him and wondering why he would do that to himself. It is what is though.

In other bad news we've also just had 20 cases of COVID-19 in Adelaide (up from 4 yesterday) after having no community transmissions for months. If the numbers get worse I can see the government implementing lock downs similar to Victoria e.g. closing gyms and only being able to travel to the shops. Employers have been encouraging people to come back to work and only allowing work from home in exceptional circumstances so it will be interesting to see how that changes.
